COMPREHENSIVE PARK PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan identifies this development as lying
within the Park Service Area of Rice Marsh Lake Park.
COMPREHENSIVE TRAIL PLAN: The Comprehensive Trail Plan identified a trail within this
proposed plat. This trail segment will connect this development to the Rice Marsh Lake/Lake Susan
trail. Construction of this trail section will give residents the opportunity to visit Rice Marsh Lake Park
and gain access to the citywide trail system.
The applicant has designated a path connection to Mission Hills Lane from the "Rice Marsh trail." The
western portion of the trail as shown does not need to be constructed. 1 have deleted this segment on the
amended trail plan developed by staff.

In order to complete the trail connection from Marsh Glen to the Rice Marsh Lake trail, an additional
section of trail will need to be constructed. I will recommend that the applicant be responsible for the
design, engineering and construction of all the trail work identified on staff's plan. The applicant would
receive reimbursement for all costs associated with construction of the "city" trail. The applicants would
be responsible for costs associated with the section of trail linking Mission Hills Drive to the "city trail."
Monies collected as park and trail fees for Marsh Glen (approximately $48,000) would be used to
reimburse the applicant. Appropriate documentation of the engineering and construction bidding and
payment documents will be required. Without the aid of a formal construction estimate, it appears that
the $48,000 in park and trail fees from Marsh Glen should cover the costs associated with this project. In
the event that costs exceed $48,000, the Park & Trail Dedication account reserve would be utilized to
settle the account.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Park & Recreation Commission recommend the City Council require the
following conditions of approval regarding parks and trails for Marsh Glen:
1. Collection of full park and trail fees per city ordinance.
2. The applicant dedicate by fee title a trail outlot for the purpose of constructing the trails
designated on the attached map.
3. The applicant shall be responsible for the design, engineering, and construction of this designated
trail in its entirety as a part of their public improvements.
The city will reimburse the applicant for all design, engineering, and construction costs
associated with the "city" trail. The applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated with
the "trail connector."
Bid documents for all phases of trail construction shall be presented to the city's Park &
Recreation Director for approval prior to work being initiated.
